Microsoft finally names Vista launch day

Woohoo, I can’t wait.

Hmm, OK actually I can. Why upgrade to Vista? It’s a service pack on XP. I just don’t see the gains.

Is anyone going to pay for this, if so, why? I guess a lot of business is stuck on the Microsoft loop and will have to get it to maintain support contracts but for the home the only way I can see this arriving is on newly purchased PCs.

Free advice, buy Apple instead. Better OS, better deal and you get to avoid the trainwreck that is Vista.

Microsoft has announced the date on which Windows Vista will be made available to businesses.

From 30 November corporate customers of the software giant will be able to get their hands on the next version of the operating system.

Also on that date Microsoft will make available Office 2007 - its suite of business programs.

Home users will have to wait until January 2007 to get hold of a copy of the Vista software.
